Latest Updates

The annual inflation rate in Greece eased to 2.5% in February 2025, the lowest in three months, down from 2.7% in January.

At the same time, inflation lowered for recreation and culture (0.9% vs 1.3%), while prices continued to decline for household equipment (-0.7% vs -0.2%). In contrast, housing and utility costs rose at a faster pace, increasing 5.1% compared to 4.6% in January.
